Point missed again, probably on purpose given the straw man argument you finished on. It's a stark reality that some help for the needy will be required regardless of how well a country is doing or who is in charge. Even in the best performing places in the world there will be some who will be...

If we get at least one of Matty James and Liam Walsh that'd be decent. Would hate to miss out on both though.

Lafferty's deal was a slightly odd one as a third year scholar due to injuries.

Yeah. It's a bit crass sitting in pubs asking people if their wife's a goer

Be careful what you wish. Without focusing on the pandemic it's back to Brexit and what a fantastic achievement it's been so far. Oh, and the behaviour of government ministers during the crisis and reports on how we fared etc. I think for the Tories I'd be more than happy to have the press...

I was talking about the ideal situation. If there was no foodbanks there would be no food poverty. Sadly we don't live in that situation and there will always be at least some need for them regardless. Fact the number of them here has shot up in the last few years is not something to crow...

Because people didn't need to make sure so many people could afford to feed themselves. Plenty more homeless now too. Is that because there was more community spirit under Labour taking these people in? Or just there weren't quite as many of them?

As it would almost certainly mean we didn't need them, yes of course I would! Most food banks aren't paid for by govt but by volunteers and charities, so they only exist when and where there is a need for them. So if we have foodbanks, it means there's people who can't afford to feed themselves...

If they could get away with it damn right they would.

It can be both a disaster now and prove to be a disaster long term as well.

Or hoodwinked into believing the problems being caused by it and the Tories had nothing to do with it. Tories have cut council budgets - let's blame our Labour council for cutting services when they've got less money. Beforehand we had no foodbanks. Now we've got 9! We've never had it so good!

Yep. They're just blaming it on numerous other things so they don't have to face up to the fact it was a massive error. It's called denial.

That was JRM. But he conveniently didn't mention it until after the vote.

Yeah. Saw him and Pitts-Ekersall saying they were leaving but nothing official or news on anyone else. I reckon it might only be Nee and Burroughs that get deals on top of the ones like Bapaga or those we signed from elsewhere like McGrath and Evans-Harriott.

Yep. Remember the arguments over Sunday trading? Same idea. Only thing people could argue against it was it was different to what they were used to and religion.

But is that because of, or in spite of, lockdown? How many of those extra that died last year from Covid would've been on this years list from other causes linked to old age?

I've wondered for a while why we don't have two people both working three and a half days each as opposed to 1 person doing a 5 day week. Similarly why we don't have three 8 hour shift patterns rather than a 9-5 ethos and then most things shut. In this day and age with global trade, technology...

First time round it was the railways. 2019 Corbyn went a bit mad.

Very easy defence to that. Read the contract before you sign it. If you can't, don't sign. Never make assumptions about what is in the contract. If you claim you're under duress I've got to ask who from, given that it was a deal you negotiated and agreed to? I'm sure if I pulled that defence in...
